Turtle Bay and Union Reach Agreement

Labor and management at the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu's North Shore have tentatively approved a labor agreement after four years without a contract.

UNITE HERE Local 5 and Benchmark Hospitality, the company that manages Turtle Bay Resort's hotel, agreed to new terms of employment, which union members will be asked to ratify on Saturday.

The union will withdraw the consumer boycott it launched at the 880-acre resort. And the tentative settlement likely will make it more attractive for the resort to find a buyer or equity partner.
